Yesterday I went for a walk, it was my day off work and it was far too nice a day to stay indoors.. I’m lucky in the fact that I am very close to some wonderful scenery for walks, some on my doorstep and others within short drives to some wonderful places and some beautiful woodlands .. Such is the beauty of Sherwood Forest Country.. And not far from the National Peak Park ..

Spring here in the UK has been exceptionally Hot..As Hot as some of our Summer days. It got to a record high in some parts of the country, it was over 23 degs, in Scotland which broke all records for March..

As often is the case I love to sit in the quiet and just Be.. absorbing Nature and the peace.. Saying Hi to the occasional passer by and stroking the odd dog that bounds up to say hello.. I seem to have some sort of beacon which seems to say to dogs come on lets sniff out this Dreamwalker and see what she is about.. And I have one or two tales within Dreamwalker’s Sanctuary about my encounters with Dogs..

Such was my experience, I couldn’t sleep and just had to write what came into my mind.. so around 2am out came my journal and pen.. and below is the resulting poem . The Nature Photo’s you see are what I took along my walk. The Tree of Life I added as I just love.. However the Hawks were too high to get a photo on my mobile so I found a couple of Sparrow Hawks in Google Images…

Sue..this is SO beautiful. I am totally impressed. ‘Walking on High ‘ is a wonderful, beautiful, beautiful and beautiful poem, three times over, I identified with that on a personal basis….and –thank you for sharing those wonderful pictures.
I have a friend that I have known for years. I ALWAYS know when she wishes to confer with me, for a specific colored butterfly inevitably appears and will stay, fluttering in front of me– where ever I am. How amazing your path in life IS.
Again…this is SO beautiful. Blessings, ~R

Beautiful DW…You captured it so well. Kinda like I was along on the walk with you. That would be nice! It is so beautiful there. My Dad was from Surrey and it was gorgeous there as well.

Not until the crazy Queen is gone….Thanks for this beautiful poem. Very eloquent. VK

Hi Cat, so glad that you have finally got your breath back… Sometimes we need to take stock and Breathe real Deep as we let the shadows of those clouds pass us by.. But always the Sun is just there Hanging, waiting, and we can either walk in its brilliance or hide indoors.. So I am so happy you shared my walk… Breathing Deep with you my friend…. as you let all that is no longer required go……..Because Love remains with you at All times.. Love to you.. xxx ~Sue

Enjoying the warm weather myself – took a walk up the hill yesterday – saw an adder (first one for years!) and then a kestrel hovering over head. Felt sorry for his prey but that is life i suppose. Loved the post. Thanks

I saw an adder Ginger around two years ago now in the wild.. my very first and a beaut he was too.. Just waking as the Spring sun was warming him up.. Yes Life is like that, a cycle.. of which we too are all part… Thank you Very much for adding your most welcome thoughts here 🙂 ~Sue

That was Lovely DW peaceful taking in Nature listening to the beautiful sounds of the birds. I experience this when ever I can, so as you say living in the Derbyshire Dales enables you to experience all of this especially in the gorgeous weather.
Enjoy Sue , Lovely poem that was magic in it’s self.
Hugs Sheila xx

Hi Sheila, so happy to see you, yes the Derbyshire Dales hold a magic all of their own,, But you too live in some wonderful countryside too… 🙂 I’d say we are both lucky to appreciate nature and to have so much on our doorstep Sheila,, When I think of those who never get out of towns and cities, especially young children who have never seen wildlife up close except for Zoo’s.. It makes you really grateful for all of this Earths gifts and the path I have walked.. Have a great weekend Sheila.. Hugs Sue xx

Thank you Sue for this wonderful love poem. Excuse me … that I so long nothing was heard of me … but unfortunately my situation is not getting better … I have little time for wordpress … All the best … Helga

Very True Sabina, we often overlook those signs which are planted squarely for us to see… as we are so busy looking for other things in life, we miss that which is right under our noses… Love to you my Friend.. ~Sue xx

Hi Prenin, so happy you enjoying the weather, to be honest Prenin I wasnt aware of the pollution from Europe, just it was nice to see clear skies and not criss-crossed by the trails of those planes which have their own agenda’s in our skies recently.. many thanks for dropping in, and happy you’re in good spirits

‘Walking on High’ is a powerful vision given to you Dreamwalker at this ‘time’ in your life. Perhaps its meaning goes beyond what you share with us. I think there could be special meaning only intented for you.
Whatever the case it is special; it is beautiful; it is ‘Walking on High’.
peace, Eddie

I felt a “shift” as I read your soulful poem and drank in the wonderful illustrations. We WILL ascend, so that the earth may succeed, joined in the LIght, dear Sue! Beat your drum evermore and lead us on!

Hi Sue,
Those are wonderful pictures. I’ve loved pussy willows ever since I was a little girl and found some growing near my house. I rarely see them anymore and they arent even that common at flower shops…still I try and get some for my house whenever I can.
Your poem beautiful!
Big hugs,
Nikki

Hi Nikki, yes Pussy Willow Trees seem to hold their own Magic this time of year.. And I know a few sprigs look wonderful with Spring flowers like Daffodils.. And once upon a time I would have picked a few too.. But now I know that they are best left in Nature.. It was great to see them and the Bees were busy too.
Flowers give of their lives to uplift and make our moments of remembrances and celebrations Happy Occasions.. For the moment they are picked, they give of their lives… But they come at our Birth, our Birthdays our Weddings, Anniversaries, Mothers Day, Special occasions, to brighten us up when we are ill, From loved ones and lovers, and they are still present at our Departure as we say farewell to this Realm… Flowers are a Huge part of ALL our lives, and one of the Greatest of our Creators Gifts to Mankind… Loved you dropped in to comment Nikki, Hugs back xx Sue

Welcome Mymissah … Yes Butterflies to me have a special meaning.. one of transformation… as well as a personal message… I am happy you found your way here and found somthing to take away with you within my poem ..
Blessings sent your way.. ~Sue Dreamwalker

Just beautiful I can feel the freedom in your poem and felt like soaring with you in the skies. How special that you had a butterfly encounter as well. They are wonderful creatures. Love your pics The one with the willows if gorgeous
Enjoy the hot spring 🙂

Yes Marja. they are my favourite too.. Today the temp’s have dropped about 10 degs, with a cool wind.. back to normal for our Spring, but the Hot interlude was nice… I just hope we dont get it going too cold again now as all the flowers, blossoms, and lambs are being born.. The weather for next week is cooler still, and frost and possible snow in places.. Seems our weather is like our World at the moment.. ‘ All over the Place’ .. So happy you dropped in… take care of you and yours.. love Sue x

What a beautiful sight..love the Willow tree, it is like a painting really.
SO sweet the sheep..they are adorable animals..quite smart too.
I will have to look around for these stories of encounters with dogs as I love
dogs even though attacked by a few years ago when I was a kid.
Farmer dogs mostly..jee they can be very territorial lol..

I love this poem Sue..it is very enlighting…and it kind of takes me to that place in
your picture …I imagine sitting there gazing at the sheep and lambs..the surroundings. SO neat ofyou to share these pictures of your day…really gives insight too.

Weather here has been much the same in England although it has become colder here now..they say it will rain I guess it is good for the nature.. and funny just as I write this..the sun has come out lol…
Have a lovely weekend you
Hugs Traceyxx

Hi Tracey, so happy you enjoyed your walk with me upon that beautiful day.. weather is changing now back to its norm for this time of yr.. But its been fanastic while it lasted.. Yes its lovely just to sit and watch all of nature, from the Birds flying to the tiny insects and spiders in the grass.. we are all part of the whole,.. And when we really look and see.. we see a whole lot more 🙂 xx Hugs back.. ~Sue xx

I have a painting of a Willow Tree in my bedroom.. well it is not a Tree but of the branches. Painted by a dear friend..she was a true artist honest to god.
But she never did anything about it as she was so deadicated to her family.
I think she would have been very well known.

I did not know this was the tree of life…I like these branches for Easter decoration.
Although I don’t have many plants in the house as my cats ter to pieaces..you know.
I did have this tree in my garden when I moved here but it had to be removed as it was just too big for my small garden.
In holland these trees are everywhere along the water sides… so beautiful.

Yes Willow like this is very pretty, and your artist friend sounded to have had a real talent.. My family are always telling me to do somthing with my art skills.. But I just doodle for my own pleasure..
I just did a Polar Bear in pastels.. on my art and hobby page in Pastel drawing section.. for a family birthday gift.. he was thrilled with it, as he has a thing for Polar Bears!.. Maybe I should do more animals as I love drawing them.. … Glad you a Cat lover.. Me too.. Although I havent had any for a couple of years now since I lost my last one.. they all lived to grand Old ages.. 🙂 xx

A most beautiful time you had there Sue, walking with nature and being inspired by the vastness of the open coutryside, I also like your poem that you have kindly offered us but then again you have a fine gift with words, I have always admired how you write and this posting and wonderful poem is just a glimpse of your talents.

My great friend you are such a wonderful person adding
the positivity and optimism to every page of your Space 🙂

Yes it was a beautiful day holding its own beautiful message.. thank you for adding your own very Kind and encouraging comment here Androgoth, I am pleased to be able to share my Walk with you all and happy you enjoyed the journey of my poem also.. Blessings sent your way.. ~Sue
